Hieeatic inscriptions and papyri. We owe much to Dr. Spiegelberg,
who has fixed the age of a large group of documents, hitherto unplaced,
to the reign of Herhor, first king of the XXIst Dynasty. A number
of these, preserved in the Bibliotheque Rationale in Paris, are excellently
edited by him, with some photographic facsimiles (Correspondances du
temps des rois-pretrcs, avec autre fragments ipistol aires de la BUiliotlwque
Rationale, from Notices et Extraits des MSB. de la Bill. Nat. Tome
xxxiv.). Their importance is chiefly philological. Other documents
commented on by him last year are now published in facsimile. (Bee. de
Tr. xvi. 185.)
